good afternoon.
The ArchBang of Linux OS has to prepare a virtual machine and then install it in Oracle VM VirtualBox.
In this virtual machine, you do not know how to install the Guest Additions of Oracle VM VirtualBox.
If you have person there you know how to install Guest Additions, thank you for your professor.
Thank you.

See the manual, Section 4, especially section 4.2.2

Thank you for your reply.
Such as the following, we have for now install in a way.
# sudo pacman -S virtualbox-guest-utils
# modprobe -a vboxguest vboxsf vboxvideo
Try for a while looking at the situation.

AFAIK there are no official builds of the guest additions for Arch. They have their own and as such you go to them for support.

I received your reply, thank you very much.
Thank you.

I have installed win10 home edition on my toshiba laptop, installed virtualbox 5.0.14 and installed 4 VMs in it.
1 Win 7
2 ubuntu 15.04 Desktop
3 ubuntu 15.04 Desktop
4 ubuntu 15.10 Server

I am able to use virtualbox-guest-additions in win7 and ubuntu 15.04 Client VMs but same not able to use 15.10 Server VM.

is vboxaddons.iso is locked by other 3 vm installatations?
what actions i need to perform? Please help

@anandp,

What do you hope to achieve by installing the guest additions on a Linux server? The only thing that you could hope for is the shared folders. Everything else depends on X being installed on the guest.

I want to make a hadoop cluster in Virtual box where as all things are as VMs

1 ubuntu 15.10 server - my name node (want to install hadoop - hdfs/mapreduce/pig on it)
2 ubnutu 15.04 desktop - my hadoop cluster node
3 ubuntu 15.04 desktop - my hadoop cluster node

for to install hadoop - hdfs/mapreduce/pig , i need guest addition to be installed on 15.10 server VM so I can install these components.

In my inital step, not able to install guest addition, which will refer my shared drive.

Please help.

I am still not sure how the guest additions will help you here. The only thing that you will get by installing the guest additions is the shared folder ( host to server guest )

Anyway all you need to do is make sure you have installed packages on the server that allow you to build external modules. and then run the guest additions install with the (flag ) --nox11 at the end of the install command.
